Abstract

Lithium niobate tantalate (LiNb1-xTaxO3, LNT) solid-solutions offer exciting new possibilities for applications ranging from optics, piezotronics, and electronics beyond the capabilities of the widely used singular compounds of lithium niobate (LiNbO3, LN) or lithium tantalate (LiTaO3, LT). Crystal growth of homogeneous LNT single crystals by the Czochralski method is still challenging. One key aspect of homogeneous growth is the accurate knowledge of thermal conductivity through the crystal boule during the growth, which is central to control the crystal growth. Therefore, the temperature dependent thermal conductivity of pure LN, LT, and LNT solid-solutions, as well as of selected doped LN and LT crystals (Mg, Zn) was investigated across the temperature range from 300 to 1300K. The results that span across the whole composition range can directly be applied for optimizing growth conditions of both LNT solid-solutions as well as doped and undoped LN and LT crystals.
